New gum disease treatment without surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe gum disease (periodontitis): one using a laser along with ultrasonic cleaning, and the other using manual tools with ultrasonic cleaning. Both aim to reduce deep pockets and improve gum health without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests five different non-surgical gum treatments to see how they affect overall health. It may be a good fit for people with advanced gum disease who do not smoke heavily or take certain medications.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating advanced gum disease (periodontitis) to see which one better reduces deep gum pockets. If you have severe gum disease and have already completed initial non-surgical treatment, this trial might help improve your gum health.
This study tests a non-surgical gum treatment that combines a special cleaning solution with a natural gel to help heal deep gum pockets. It may be an option for people with advanced gum disease who haven't had recent gum treatment or certain medications.
This trial tests whether adding a special light treatment (called photodynamic therapy) to standard deep cleaning helps reduce gum disease more than cleaning alone. It may help prevent further damage to your gums and teeth.
This study tests whether shining a special light on your gums after standard cleaning can help treat gum disease better. Researchers will compare light therapy combined with standard treatment versus standard treatment alone to see if it reduces gum pocket depth and improves healing.
This trial tests whether adding an oxygen-releasing gel to a standard deep-cleaning procedure helps heal severe gum pockets. It may help reduce pocket depth and improve gum health better than deep cleaning alone.
